The Masters of Berkeley, Branford, Calhoun, Davenport, Ezra
Stiles, Jonathan Edwards, Morse, Pierson, Saybrook, and Trumbull Colleges have
asked me to forward the message below to all graduate & professional
students. I am exceptionally pleased to do so and hope you might consider this
exciting possibility for closer contact with undergraduate students in the
colleges.

We write to inform you about the continuation of the
graduate and professional affiliate program sponsored by Yale's residential
colleges. All of these positions are non-residential, that is, they do NOT
allow grad/professional students to live in the colleges. For 2009-10, the
colleges above are inviting students from the graduate and the professional
schools to participate in residential college life at Yale. The residential
colleges are intimate communities where individuals of diverse ages,
backgrounds, and interests come together and learn from one another. Through
the many activities and facilities in the colleges, our students quickly
understand that belonging to a residential college is a precious educational
and personal experience. We sincerely look forward to your application.

We believe that your involvement in residential college life
would prove equally rewarding. Indeed, in our view, your presence in our
colleges and participation in our activities – ranging from college-wide
educational, cultural and social events to photography, pottery, art and drama,
poetry readings, music, language tables, science groups, and career advising –
would be most welcomed by our students and faculty. The graduate and
professional affiliate program facilitates interaction with undergraduates, by
providing special access to Berkeley, Branford, Calhoun, Davenport, Ezra
Stiles, Jonathan Edwards, Morse, Pierson, Saybrook, or Trumbull College, a weekly meal allowance, and use of that college’s facilities. The kinds of activities
in which student affiliates might be involved are described briefly below for
the participating colleges. As noted earlier, these G&P affiliate positions
do NOT involve living in the colleges.

If you are continuing at Yale for 2009-10, and would like to
apply for consideration as a graduate/professional affiliate of a residential
college, please complete the online application at http://fs3.formsite.com/yalegraduateschool/form684729180/index.html
and submit it by 12:00 noon on Monday, April 20, 2009. Please note that late
applications will NOT be considered. Applicants will be notified by mid-May.

The appointments are for the 2009-10 academic year,
beginning in September 2009, and are available to continuing graduate and
professional school students who will be enrolled full-time. There will be a
separate round of applications in September 2009 for incoming first year
G&P students only.

For questions, contact John Muse the student graduate
affiliate program coordinator (john.muse@yale.edu). The Graduate and
Professional Affiliate program is administered by Lisa Brandes, Director of the
Office of Graduate Student Life at the McDougal Center, and Deborah Bellmore,
the Executive Assistant to the Council of Masters. The program is funded
though the generous support of the Yale President’s Office, the Dean of the Graduate School, the Yale Council of Masters, and the Yale residential colleges.

We hope this email finds you well. CLC and the Chaplain's
office would like to invite everyone to walk the labyrinth – an ancient
practice that has been used to symbolize life's journey. It is a prayer
practice that transcends culture and faith tradition; it is a contemplative
prayer of movement that meets you where you are and embodies our journey to
freedom during these holy days. You are welcome to walk it at your own pace and
time.

The YDS community is invited to "Ministry and The
Disinherited" class with Stephen Pimpare, author of "A People's
History of Poverty in America."

Kevin is a senior at Brown University. During his sophomore
year he transferred for a semester to Liberty University, Jerry Falwell's
school for a "cross-cultural experience." Kevin was raised a liberal
Quaker and began the semester with the standard set of stereotypes towards
conservative evangelicals. Yet throughout the semester, as he gets to know his
classmates, his stereotypes break down yet he remains critical of many aspects
of conservative evangelical theology and politics.

To the YDS Class of 2009: In honor of your transition into
the community of alumni, the Alumni Relations Office will host a Senior Class
Reception for you. We hope that this time will be a celebration of your
accomplishments here at YDS and a joyful look ahead at what is to come. There
will be heavy hors d'oeuvres, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and toasts
(or "roasts") by faculty members. We would like this to be a special
time for seniors, so we request that only the Class of 2009 and their immediate
families attend. We hope to see all of you there, seniors!

All Options Clergy Counseling Training

The All Options Counseling program trains seminarians (of
all degree programs and vocational aspirations) to provide spiritual counseling
about all of the options available for women and couples who are experiencing
problem or crisis pregnancies - usually unintended and unwanted pregnancies,
but occasionally medical crises in intended pregnancies. In this training,
participants will explore all options that are available: parenting, adoption,
and abortion. Post-abortion counseling will also be covered. Women and their
families who are dealing with unwelcome or problem pregnancies often have
religious, spiritual, and theological questions and look for supportive
pastoral help to answer these questions. To engage in this work is to
accompany women as they decide whether to bear a child in accordance with their
own faith and beliefs, and then support whatever choice is made. If you are
interested please RSVP to rebecca.lenn@yale.edu by Tuesday, April 14th.

Thursday, April 16th
(1:30-5:30PM)

Berkeley Center.

After a year of trying to find the perfect title and
subtitle for my book on Paul, my mind is gone and I need some help. The title
now agreed on is The Unofficial Paul, but we don't yet have a subtitle.
If you have ideas, please send them to me at sarahruden@gmail.com, and the
winner will get a free copy of my Aeneid translation. Since it's the Aeneid,
the second prize is two copies.

We’ve had some busy bee professors around here, as proven by
the incredible output of scholarship in the last year. We’d like to celebrate
the publications of our faculty in the last year. Appetizers and champagne
(FREE!) to celebrate the books they’ve written (NOT FREE!). There will be a
brief presentation and acknowledgement of the authors by Dean Attridge, and the
SBS will be setup in the Common Room to provide the books at your
ever-wonderful 15% off membership prices.

Frontiers in Social
Justice Lawyering: Critical Race Revisited, Yale Law School

Building on the enthusiasm from last week's events about
living lightly on God's creation, we will meet with Greenfaith Executive
Director Fletcher Harper to explore next steps for the BDS/YDS sustainability
audit. Greenfaith is a non-profit organization which engages institutions in
developing long-term plans for faith-based, sustainable communities. YDS' audit
will identify the progress our school has made in sustainable initiatives
relating to curriculum, worship, and facilities. We will identify goals to
help us to progress further as a sustainable Divinity School. Your input and
suggestions are key to this process. Come when you can, leave when you need
to. Looking forward to seeing you there! Questions or comments please contact
stephanie.m.johnson@yale.edu or frederica.ghesquiere@yale.edu

CORE and YBS students invite you to join in a celebration of
our diversity! Occasionally even YDS students need to take the time to have
fun and so Party

City has been appropriately raided for this purpose. But the
streamers and the little plastic whistles shaped like various sports balls are
just the beginning. Dress up! Enjoy pictures of people we celebrate! Eat,
drink, and celebrate.

Elections will be held Monday April 13-Wednesday April 15.
Please vote! The Council has been very active over the last few years and
continues to need thoughtful representatives who will advocate for student
needs.

Elm City Cycling is hosting a bike-to-work celebration
breakfast on April 17th in front of City Hall from 7:30-9:30! Stop by if you're
riding your bike to work (yes, school is your job) that day! I think you can
just pop in and out at your convenience. If you have any questions or concerns
about commuting by bike, I'm sure there are people there who would love to help
answer your questions. Contact: rachel.e.duncan@gmail.com

I'm selling a futon to a nice home. I bought it nearly new
two years ago, and it has hardly been used since. It's white and close to the
ground, folds out into a double bed (from Ikea). It looks like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S99838627.
I paid $100, I'll sell it for $50 OBO. It comes with a tan cover sheet (not the
Ikea cover). Contact: johanna.johnson@yale.edu.

I've been working on a project for awhile and it's gone well
for the most part, but I thought I'd give this a try. I could use access to
some wood shop tools, mainly a jigsaw or bandsaw and a lathe. The lathe would
be the most important of these. I could make due without the other two. If
anyone for some reason owns these things or knows someone who does that might
let me use them for a few hours, I'd really appreciate it. I'd have to purchase
some new wood, so it would be a week or so before I needed them ,but I just
thought I'd take a chance and ask. Contact: jason.peno@yale.edu.
